Add me to the list of people who will miss Terminal 2. The PHX RCC was the first one I ever visited (February, 2004) and I have a lot of good memories there. I understand it's now obsolete and too small but 15 years ago when it was my home club it was a good place to relax.

My guess is in the whole priority scheme of things they fall to the bottom of the schedule... You can run a terminal without a club but without gates/bathrooms/etc. It is pretty difficult. Likewise, you might delay a new terminal opening to get gates ready, but if you do the same for a club you have one heck of an asset just wasting away...

Without the club at least we'll have something other than OHSO in T3. I'll miss my daytrips to DEN or SFO where I can park and be through security in 10 minutes.

United moving to PHX terminal 3 on Feb 4, 2020.
Saw a sign board on Monday (1/20/20) indicating that all United operations are moving from T2 to T3 on Feb 4, 2020. Hopefully Uber/Lyft rideshare pickups are as easy through T3, as they were from T2. Really going to miss that terminal.

Too bad it's not T4 since the Centurion Lounge is there.

Actually, they have an open house on Feb 4 at 4pm to 8:30pm. You always welcome to come. This is for terminal 2 farewell.
See you soon.

I tend not to trust front line staff on major issues. But since it's literally these people's jobs affected, they are probably right in the idea that it at least won't be "immediately" ready. 
Sucks, and shows a lack of commitment to PHX which I find disappointing. Was hoping they'd consider expanding the schedule, but I can understand not wanting/being able to fight AA there.

I agree totally. It was old and not stylish and lacking in services but PHX T2 was a flyer's terminal and the benefits and convenience were unbeatable. I could park in long term upper level and walk to the gate in 4 minutes. LT parking was cheap. Terminal small, fast to walk. Nothing unnecessary. It was a great example of practicality in a major US airport. I used it only this weekend. The last time.

This airport ceased being convenient for most visitors when they moved car rental to the Rental Car Center.
